Should U.S. architects seeking registration in Canada use the Tri-National Agreement?
No. U.S. architects seeking registration in Canada should use the streamlined Canadian Mutual Recognition Arrangement. To take advantage of the MRA between the United States and Canada, your principal place of practice must be a signatory jurisdiction. If your principal place of practice is not a signatory jurisdiction, you may use the Tri-National Agreement.
